A Succinct Summary of Trump [View all]

[Zynx]

Trump's basic game appears fairly simple. He asserts that he's successful with various conspicuous displays of wealth and power. This gets contractors and banks to do business with him. He then fleeces them and refuses to make payments in line with the economic value provided to him. That he's managed to create the appearance of success by doing this isn't genius. It's just deceptive. Michael Bloomberg was a far more successful businessman and started with modest means. He could buy Trump out without even thinking about it and he thinks Trump is an utter bullshit artist.

The key to pulling it off is having no sense of moral decency.
